KDE installation problem [solved]

[ilia_kr]

Hi. I usually usually use mandriva one gnome. Today i tried to install KDE by typing "urpmi task-kde". After all packages were installed, i can't login to KDE. I get an error message on some weird looking X-terminal while booting: "can't find kdestartupconfig... check your installation." ( i don't remember exactly what it said).

Moreover, i can't run kde apps from gnome anymore and if i try to run them through terminal i get this:

Need your help with this, thanks.

Just a simple question. After you installed KDE, did you then do a reboot or did you just log out then back in ???.

 

If the former then I have nothing to suggest that might help, but if the latter then I suggest you reboot and see if that helps you.

 

 

Cheers. John.

What about logging out of kde, running in a root console

mv /home/ilia/.kde /home/ilia/.kdeold

and then trying to log back in?

If it still doesn't work, then something might be wrong with your console ownership. Does user "ilia" login using the /bin/bash shell?

The problem was that the .kde folder was created with root privilege so i changed that, and now everything is ok. But why did that happened at first place?

I have never had this happen. I have inadvertently not used an identical user and had to change permissions from the original user to the current user. And I've done this quite a bit. I used to update kde and had to uninstall-reinstall, all from within Gnome!
